i have what i think is a good idea, i just need the images to do it with and the time to sit and do it without getting frustrated!
 
I just entered a bit of a mick-take 5 minute entry atm, but I'm going away soon so I might not be able to update it to a proper version, ah well...:p
 
Put my entry in, i dont think it is a winner.

I had loads of ideas i just couldnt find the right pictures to manipulate to get the overall image i wanted so this ended up as my 3rd/4th idea.

I have to say some really good entries in this round the standard is very high. Which is very nice to see!

Great work all!
 
Im sad that people had already used turntables :(.. even some of the tones are the same as mine.. quite like mine.. might add some more to it if i get time.

yeah, it could be a tough one to call this week. Hopefully plenty more entries still to come as well.

I've also noticed I seem to be the only one that names their work.
